Diorama is Silverchair’s fourth album and when released also the most calm album.

Air1 90.1 FM Radio Station
Some of you may like surfing through the radio stations listening to a song here, a song there —“ but maybe some of you surf for the same reason I do: that I can’t seem to find anything good. On the rare occasion that I do, as the …
Animal Collective - Throwin The Round Ball (Song)
Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …
Bon Iver in Concert

Jonas Brothers
I like these guys. I am so glad to hear how they’ve matured from album to album. Please don’t hesitate to pick up their new album; it may surprise you. The lyrics are more mature; they’ve gone away from the teeny bopper-ish phase, which I couldn’t stand, to this …
Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith
Beer for my Horses was one of Toby Keith’s biggest hits which was accompanied by country music legend Willie Nelson. It is a great song and it makes us think about what we would really like to do today to those who don’t pay attention to the laws. It …
Roses For Momma by Red Sovine

Spotlight (by Jennifer Hudson)
I have to admit that I really expected a little something different with Jennifer Hudson’s first big hit single. The production certainly sounds clean. But for some reason, the feel of the song sounds dated. Jennifer has an absolutely beautiful voice. And I think that …
You don’t know my name (song by, Alicia Keys)
Alicia Keys is a phenomenal artist specializing in the R&B genre of music. One of my favourite songs from her is “You don’t know my name” from her “The Diary of Alicia Keys” album.
I personally wasn’t hooked on the song when I first heard it over MTV but I …
She’s like the wind by Lumidee
She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …
Metallica - Eye Of The Beholder (Song)
Eye Of The Beholder, the third track off of And Justice For All, is a track that I will admit I really don’t like very much in comparison to the rest of And Justice For All. I wouldn’t say that I strongly dislike the song or anything but I …
Animal Collective - For Reverend Green (Song)
For Reverend Green is a song by Animal Collective and is the fourth track to appear on their album Strawberry Jam. Personally, I enjoy the way For Reverend Green opens up because it starts out pretty empty and then gradually has more and more instruments join the mix before …
David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …
Esteban Classical Guitar Beginner’s Kit

Album : Damon Fowler - Devil Got His Way (2011)
While this release is being marketed as an electric-blues album, the actual truth is that it’s a bit of a mixture. Across the album Damon Fowler flirts with a few different kinds of blues like swamp blues, delta blues and electric blues, but also adds some honky-tonk country elements …

Aerosmith
I am one of the later generation of Aerosmith fans. In fact, when I was about 11 or 12 I had thought of them as my all time favorite band. At the time I did not think anyone was more amazing than their lead singer Stephen Tyler or their …
Brokenheartsville - Joe Nichols

The Veronicas: Hook Me Up
I think this is one of the best cds they have out. It had a combination of different mood songs. “This Love” is basically a bittersweet love song. I can’t stop thinking about this song. “Popular” is a good club song. It’s catchy, has …
Ashanti
I started listening to Ashanti during the early 2003 period, I think. And I thought that she has a pretty good voice. During that time, the existence of Rihanna in the music industry wasn’t born yet and Ashanti was one of the young talents out there, besides the …
Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta (song)
Atlanta is the closing track on Stone Temple Pilots album No. 4. I find this song to be comfortably soothing, and a suitable song to close an excellent album with. The song starts off very simple but becomes more and more layered as it progresses on.
“Atlanta” is a slower …
Coma off Use Your Illusion
An epic song off the Use your illusion record that is definetely worth listening to is the song Coma. this is their longest song peaking at 10 minutes and thirteen seconds. This song is written exclusively by Slash and Axl Rose. Axl really sings cool lyrics that are almost …

The Cure, 2004 Album by The Cure
I was very impressed by this album when I heard it. It is a very interesting record indeed. It is very good that the band included so many new songs which have rather different sounds from each other. The previous album, Bloodflowers, released in 2000, was very good. I …

As I was still browsing through my dad’s old records, I also found, amongst my discovery, Diana Ross (1976) by Diana Ross. I checked the value of this CD now, and I was amazed at the $149 price tag. True blue royal record.
I bet the price befits …
Iggy Pop “Preliminaires”

Linkin Park
Linkin Park is no doubt one of the best Rock Bands ever, as far as I am concerned, of course. Their songs left a mark in me, to this time I still have a couple of their old songs and I just never get tired of their song. Their …
Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan
Overview - Another Side Of Bob Dylan, Dylan’s fourth effort, continues in his traditional style of having excellent lyrics, basic instrumentation, and not so great vocal delivery.

Coldplay (alternative rock band)
A couple of years ago Coldplay was possibly one of the most popular alternative rock bands around the world, but even then I didn’t really like them because I was into much more hardcore music at the time. It took me a couple more years and the decline in …

It goes into detail with regards his feud with Ja Rule that included 50 Cent and Dr Dre. You can …
The Close Lobsters - I Kissed The Flowers in Bloom (song)
The Close Lobsters are probably a band that a majority of you haven’t heard of. Hell, if it wasn’t for Pandora Radio, I’d probably would have never heard of them either. They are originally from Paisley, Scotland and did have a rather short lived career. Despite that, I feel …
Loving the Boyz II Men
I rarely appreciate R & B music and thinks these songs are just plain addition to the music genre but does not have “sense” to begin with. I guess I was proved wrong when Boyz II Men have emerged from the scene and made it well in the charts, …

Michael Kelly Rose Acoustic/Electric Guitar
At first I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a guitar that appeared to be a “knock off” of a Martin D-45. Given the reputation that copy cat guitars generally bare, I was certain that the craftsmanship would be inferior. That coupled with being manufactured in Asia …
John Hampson (lead singer of Nine Days)
This summer I had the pleasure of meeting one of the best people ever. That person is the lead singer of my favorite band, Nine Days. Around 2001, Nine Days had a popular song on the radio called “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”. John is the …
Barbra Streisand: Higher Ground CD
What I love the most about Barbra Streisand: Higher Ground CD is that it’s another quality collection of songs that I can put on and just close my eyes to and enjoy them all so very much. No one can match the pitch and beauty of Streisand’s voice. …
Gold Digger by Kanye West & Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx did a great job imitating Ray Charles in “Gold Digger”. Kanye came up with some very creative rhymes and the beat was awesome.
The song was very well writting, warning men against gold diggers - women who leech off men for money.
He told the tale of a man …
The Rolling Stones - Under The Boardwalk (Song)

All That Remains: Fall Of Ideals
When I first heard of this band, I didn’t really know to much about them other than they sounded a lot like Killswitch Engage. Well I got more than I bargained for. When I borrowed this CD from my friend Jacob, I was soon to find out that they …

Andrew Jackson Jihad - Skate Park (Song)
